And if... [Şi dacă...]

And if the poplars do not sleep
And scratch my window blind
It is because I want to keep
Your pretty face in mind.

And if the stars shine in the lake
And make its bottom bright
It is because, for old time's sake,
I need to see the light.

And if the clouds run from the sky
And leave the moon up there
It is because I'll always sigh
For you in my despair.

poem by Mihai Eminescu, translated by Octavian Cocoş
